Your phone’s charge is your most precious treasure at Wacken. You mustn’t drain it in vain. It is very difficult to access electric plugs. You get get your phone charged in some stands in exchange for a couple of Euros. If you have run out of options, you get some juice through muscle-power.

That’s the right place for you if you are into Viking stuff. A vast area is decorated Viking style. It also has a stage called Wackinger Stage. As you can imagine, it constantly hosts Viking/Folk Metal bands. If you want to watch a blacksmith forging some metal stuff while you are drinking your beer out of a horn and listening to Viking Metal, you may want to visit this place.

Meet & Greet sessions at Wacken are very well-planned and neat. The bands autograph items in stands that are reserved for them for about 45 minutes. Yet, there is usually a huge demand and therefore damn long queues are very common. If your favorite band has a meet & greet session, you should get in the queue at least one hour before. For example, I was a bit late to get autograph from Carcass. I joined the queue anyway but the session ended just when there were only a few guys were left in front of me and I had to leave empty-handed.
